Lyrics - X on RINGTONES Z

She’s waitin’ for me
when I get home from work
oh, but things ain’t just the same
She turns out the light
and cries in the dark
won’t answer when I call her name

On the stairs I smoke a
cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin’
fireworks below
Hey baby, it’s the Fourth of July
Hey baby, it’s the Fourth of July

She gives me her cheek
when I want her lips
but I don’t have the strength to go
On the lost side of town
in a dark apartment
we gave up trying so long ago

On the stairs I smoke a
cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin’
fireworks below
Hey baby, it’s the Fourth of July
Hey baby, it’s the Fourth of July

What ever happened I
apologize
so dry your tears and baby
walk outside, it’s the Fourth of July

On the stairs I smoke a
cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin’
fireworks below
Hey baby, it’s the Fourth of July
Hey baby, Baby take a walk outside

X is a noted punk rock band, formed in Los Angeles in 1977. While they achieved only limited mainstream success, they were widely considered one of the most influential, accessible and tuneful of Los Angeles’ many punk bands. Their 1980 record Los Angeles resonated so loudly with the citizens of the city it is named after, that the band received an Official Certificate of Recognition from the City of Los Angeles in acknowledgment of their important contributions to Los Angeles music and culture. They were hugely influential on various genres of music, including punk, hardcore punk, and folk.

Original members were Exene Cervenka (born Christine Cervenka, vocals), John Doe (born John Duchac, bass and vocals), Billy Zoom (born Tyson Kindell, guitar) and DJ Bonebrake (born Donald J. Bonebrake, drums). After Zoom retired from the band, Tony Gilkyson replaced him on guitar. Zoom reunited with X in 1998. The original line-up now periodically tours.

Their first four albums had a hard-driving sound that occasionally flirted with country and blues; one critic suggests that X “were not just one of the greatest punk bands, but one of the greatest live rock acts of all time.” By the time of their fifth album, Ain’t Love Grand!, the band had taken a more mainstream rock-oriented direction, and began to appear on shows such as American Bandstand. X, however, had previously appeared on television for a 1984 performance on Late Night with David Letterman.

In many ways – from songwriting to performances – X’s first albums were distinctive when compared to many of their punk peers (except Cervenka, all band members had previous musical experience before forming X). One critic writes that X were “too self-conscious, artsy and ambitious to simply spew” in typical punk fashion.

on the golden road… someone carved our initials in the stone. i dreamed of curly blackhair… when you were there. our first rendevous… was in the devil’s workshop come true. this was dirty, dark no-place… for a beautiful face. so why do you want to throw another chain… around my heart? and even i was a winner… even was if it was for a little while. you cut me and smile. while my so-called friends… quickly turned into strangers. you’re the one that i love. so why do you want to throw another chain… around my heart? you don’t even know me… anyway, i’m all torn up from yesterday. so why do you want to throw another chain… around my heart? you don’t even know me… anyway, i’m all screwed up from yesterday. so why do you want to throw another chain… around my heart? why do you want to throw another chain… around my heart?
